Chiefs owner would have ‘no hesitation’ signing Colin Kaepernick

Colin Kaepernick is arguably the most popular unemployed football player out there.

Many accuse NFL owners of blackballing Kaepernick for his political stances against police brutality and racial injustice taken last season while still a member of the 49ers. But one owner is pulling himself from the group.

"Generally, I'm not going to tell our head coach or our GM not to bring in a player if they think that player can bring us some success on the field and make us better," Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt told NBC Sports Radio (via CBSSports.com). “Now there are certain circumstances where guys get in trouble off the field and that is something as an organization and as a family we care about. We're not going to bring those types of players in.

"In terms of a player like Colin, I would have no hesitation bringing him into the organization."

Alex Smith, the quarterback Kaepernick replaced in San Francisco, is currently the starter for Kansas City. But that isn’t the only odd dynamic that will likely keep Kaepernick from joining the team. Remember, Kansas City spent the 10th overall pick in this year’s draft on QB Patrick Mahomes.
